The shipping is gonna kill you if you order a 10' one piece blank online. Mike even has a problem shipping a made-up 9' rod (that's why the Batson SW series is so nice--the 9' blanks are actually 8'10" and the tip guide/butt cap still make the overall length under 108"
)
You aren't going to get a better deal on a 10' blank than you will at Mike's---especially when it might cost you more than he charges for a 1209 just to ship it.
